Temperance Alliance.

Below we give part Of the re-
port and resolutions adopted by
the State Temperance Alliance
which was in session in Nashville
the 9th and 10th inst:
We demand of the two political
parties true and tried Prohibition
lists for whom we may vote to rep
resent the people In the next Gen
eral Assembly. Still, we m ~
make the fight upon non-partisan
grounds.
Therefore be it resolved, that
this convention is in favor of and
demands legislative prohibition of
all Intoxicating liquors as a bever-
age. and will use all Legitimate
means for the accomplishment OF
the same; and until this is done
we demand a strict enforcement
of the feur-miie law and all exist
ing laws for the restraining OF the
liquor traffic.
Resolved, that the canse of TEN,
peranee and prohibition, having
for it's sole object the promotion
of the welfare of the people and
good of humanity, should be nom
partisan as to existing political
parties, and should receive the
support of all good people, of
whatever sect, party or name; and
we deem the organization of an
other political party unwise and
unnecessary, unless the existing
political parties should be suosi-
.iised in the interest of the saloon,

A Queen Learning Tricks.

But few persons are aware of the
fact that Queen Marie Henrictte, of
Belgium, is one of the cleverest con-
lurers IN Europe. When in 1882 the
famous magician, Prof. Hermann,
arrived at Brussels on his way to the
sea baths at Ostend, one of the queens
chamberlains called at his hotel and
inquired if he was the same Prof
hermann who had formerly given
Straightforward performances at the
palace of the queens father, the Arch
duke Palatine of Austria. On ascer-
tanning this TO be a fact he informed
him that her majesty would be glad
to receive him in private audience the
next day. The queen received him
most kindly, and after talking of old
times expressed n wish to learn sleioht-
of-hand. Prof. Hermann gladly con
scented to teach her his tricks. and
during the following four weeks he
spent daily several hours in initiating
her as an adept at the black art. OF
course these lessons took place with
locked doors, the professor having,
made point of insisting that nobody
else should be present besides his row
al pupil and himself. The queen dis
played remarkable talent in acquiring
the art, and many were the tricks
which she subsequently practiced on
her family and attendants. Prof.
Hermann, who died few weeks ago
leaving an enormous fortune, absolute
ly refused to accept any remuneration
for his services. The queen, however,
met the difficulty by sending a mag
nificent bracelet and a pair of dia-
mond earrings to the professors Wife.
Only short time before his death he
received az autograph letter from the
queen congratulating him in the kind
est manner on his SEVENTEEN birthday,
and adding: do not be afraid. |

Bringing up Children nationally.

1t is as natural to child tt be happy.
as it is to fish to swim. But for this
they need certain amount of letting
alone. 1t is q great mistake for
parents to hamper their children with
foolish restrictions. We pity the little
BIS, our next-door neighbours children,
from the bottom of our heart. There
is a picket fence in front of the house
and they are scarcely allowed to go
near it, lest they should climb and hurt
themselves. They cannot climb tree
for the same reason. They may not
skate or swim, or have a gun. The
consequence of this training is that
their parents have made towards of
them all, with the exception of little
Bessie, who is the most daring little
mischief that ever wore a sunbonnet,
and she has learned to be deceitful and
plays all her mad pranks well out
of sight of her parents eyes. We
caught her the other day walking the
railing of bridge that crossed
the track of a railroad a hundred feet
below. The railing was not foot
wide, and she triumphantly told us
that she had walked it while the train
was passing under. 1t was enough to
make one shudder.
Don't fancy your boy is made OF
glass. Grant a reasonable request, and
let him feel that when you refuse, il
is for his own good. Between the
Jellybys and the Gradgrinds of life4
children have hard time of it. The
Youngest child needs some sort, of
agreeable occupation, and certain
amount of physical freedom. There
is nothing more painful to young peo-
pie than to feel that life is one dull
routine, and that nothing ever hap
pens, as we once heard disconsolate
lad remark american Agrtcagtatrjst.

What did Blinks say thenp Not
what his parents and sponsors would
have expected him to say when he
grew up, after all their careful teach
ing. But he went in, and was very i'll
next day, and Mrs. Blinks nursed him
with many signs.
Blinks knew then, as he knew after
wards, that he should not dare bid his
Eliza retire to her pillow when he was
out again.
From that time thenceforth Mrs.
Blinks sat up for him-more injured,
more low-voiced than ever; until at
length he was quite subdued.
And now at ten every night, Eliza,
with her own hands, turns down the
gas. locks the front door, and puts the
key under the pillow. Blinks stays out
late no more.

How To Scare Snakes.

A gentleman who recently returned
from the Western coast of Africa tells
how natives provide against the
dangers of yenomous snakes, which
abound in those regions. The
Africans on the coast" he said, ''are
far more intelligent than those in the
interior. Just south of the republic of
Liberia there is large swampy region
which extends for hundreds of miles
into the interior, and for many miles
along the coast. Whenever It's deemed
necessary to penetrate this vast morass,
which abounds in snakes, the natives
simply rub the soles of their feet with
garlic and oil. The scent of the garlic
is too much for the delicate stomachs
of the reptiles, and they crawl away as
fast as they are able. This insures
almost absolute safety. The beacon
strictor even hesitates to attack a man
smelling of this odoriferous vegetable.
Another method employed by the
| natives, when they wish to sit to rest,
is to swish the air with rods. The
| peculiar noise of the rod seems to in.
| spire the serpents with terror, for they
hasten away out of hearing of the
sound"

Dean Richmond's Sharp Son.

Thurlow Weed told a good story in
the cloak-room Of the Senate one day
about his crony Dean Richmond, of
Albany Mr.. Richmond had a son
whose habits were not consonant with
the railroad kings ideas of prudence.
He was sharp, shrewd and witty, but
was emphatically lone OF the boys. .
The paternal purse was long and his
patience stretched out to equal dimen-
sions, but finally the young Richmond
wore out the patience, and was told
he must go to work and earn his own
living. The old gentleman placed him
on one of his railroad trains, and when
the youngster had learned the duties
of conductor promoted him to that
station. One rule of the road was that
no one should be dead-headed. Each
passenger was compelled to produce
his ticket, pay his fare, or show pass
signed by the president, Dean Rich
mond. A few days after young Rich
mond took charge of train his father
was among the passengers. In due
course of time the conductor reached
the seat occupied by the old gentle
man, and, tapping him on the should

natured smile. s'Ticket," said the
conductor, emphatically. Il have nc

jet CurioSitieS.

w. Is. Hull, native of Mercer
county, this state, but who has for the
past thirty-fve years been living In the
far west. is in the city, says the Pitts
burg Commercials Gazette. Mr.. Hull
was one of that great army who crossed
the plains, when the gold fever broke
out, to California, in search of fortune.
He drifted in Austin, New, in 1858
when silver was first discovered.
When the great Comstock mine was
discovered in Virginia City he went
there. When he arrived the mine that
afterward made SO much money for its
owners was just being opened. The
hole was down about three feet and the
mine was being worked with very
crude materials. After working in
various silver mines he went to Utah
and got interested in large deposits of
coal lands which abound in the Wasatch
mountains. The coal runs in three
veins; the second vein is sixteen feet
thick, but can only be used for Gas pur-
poses, and the third lowest is of the
unprecedented thickness of twenty-four
feet. The coal is of q very good
quality, and the top and lower veins
can be used for coking. Between the
middle and lower veins there is sub
stance known as Jet, out of which the
jet mourning jewelry is made. The
jet is formed of the bodies of petrifed
fish, which lie in every position i'm.
aginable. A popularity about them is
that none of them are lying on their
backs, which is considered proof
enough that they became suddenly i'm
bedded in some peculiar substance
previous to their death, and afterward
petrified. In nearly all of the fish
taken out can be seen the perfect shape
of the bodies, the head, and the eyes.
None Of them have been taken out in
tact and are easily broken. Mr.. Hull
has in his possession at present piece
of jet which is shaped exactly like
shad. The backbone and fins can be
easily traced and an examination will
convince anyone that it is part of a
petrified fish. Iron ore of good quality
is also found here and some specimens
have yielded 60 per cent. There is also
on the range a wax mine, in which the
wax lies in large quantities and runs
down into canyons. If a person tried
to walk over the wax he would sink
down into it and get smothered, so soft
is it,
